There is a great deal of hustle and bustle on the University campus as we prepare for a new academic year. For many of us, the start of a new year is routine. We've done it before. We know what needs to be done and how to navigate the system.
In the wake of the tragedy at Northern Illinois University, President Dunn issued a message to the WMU community expressing sympathy and support for NIU students and colleagues, and calling upon everyone “to ensure that, as a campus, we continue to place the highest value on respect, tolerance, kindness and civility.”
Great universities, including Western Michigan University, strive for an inclusive environment in which the student body, faculty, and staff reflect society at large.
In a message to the University community, President Dunn conveyed a sense of relief and gratitude for the safety of several WMU students, following an incident that took place in an off-campus student neighborhood Nov. 16.
“Western Michigan University is strong and vibrant,” declared President Dunn in his first State of the University address, Oct. 25, at the annual Academic Convocation.
